WATER-HEATING APPARATUS.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Mar. 5, 1918.

Application filed May 7, 1915. Serial N01 26,528.

State of Ohio, have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in Water-Heating Apparatus, of which the following is a full,

clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawm s.

,Tlns invention relates to water eaters of the sort comprising a water storage and cir culating apparatus, in combination with a suitable heating device. The apparatus dis-1 closed herein is especially designed for use with liquid fuel burners, theinvention including novel means of supporting said burner in correct operative relation to the storage and circulating apparatus.

The embodiment of my invention which includes a liquid fuel burner is, therefore, especially suitable for use in homes, barbershops, and other places where hot water is desired, and that have not the conveniences of gas and water supply systems; although I would not make the impression that the water storage and circulating apparatus is not equally well adapted for employment with gas stoves, coal stoves, electric heating elements, etc., in the production of an efli cient water heater.

The objects of the invention are to pro vide an apparatus of the aforesaid character that is prompt and efficient in the heating of water; that is simple of construction, and very convenient of use; that will automatically deliver the hottest water 'to the vicinity of a faucetthrough which it may be with: drawn; wherein a natural circulation, prevails during the time that the heating device is in operation; and that will maintain the temperature of the water contained therein at-a high degree for a comparatively long time after the activity of the heating device has been stopped or suspended.

A further object of the invention is to incorporate within the water heating apparatus, a steamer that may be used in homes for performing certain cooking operations, and in barbershops, massage parlors, and lsukch places, for steaming hot towels and the The structural details whereon the foregoing objects are dependent. for their fulfilment will be pointed out during the course of the following description.

In the accompanying drawings which form a part hereof, Figure 1 is a front elevation of the water heater of my invention; Fig. 2 is a horizontal plan on line 2--2 of Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a vertical section through the lower portion of the heating device and the supporting structure therefor, the plane of section beingindicatedby the line 3-3 of Fig. 2; Fig. 4% is an enlarged detail on line 4-4 of Fig. 1' Fig. 5 is a central vertical section through the upper portion of the water heater on line 5-5 of Fig. 1; Fig. 6 'is a plan view of the water heater with the cover of the reservoir removed; Fig. 7 is a' horizontal section through the apparatus on the lines 77 of Figs. 1 and 5, and looking upward as indicated by the arrows; Fig. 8 is a sectional detail .of the valve which controls the flow of water from the reservoir to the circulating element, as represented by the line 88 of Fig. 5, and Fig. 9 is a per spective view of the elements of this valve in separated condition.

I will now proceed to describe the invention by the use of reference characters. The water storage and circulating apparatus A is supported upon a stand B, and

a liquid fuel heater O is sustained in operative relation to the storage and circulating apparatus, by a-shelf of the stand B.

The aforesaid stand B comprises a ring 1 to which are connected the upper ends of legs 2,'said legs bein of angle formation (as shown in t. Fig. 2% throughouttheir lengths except at theirtops where they are spread out and curved to correspond to the curvature of the ring 1 Here they are riveted to said ring, the'legs being spaced about the circumference of said ring at substantially apart, and between each leg and the ring is confined the vertical flange of an angle bracket 5. The horizontal flanges of the brackets 5 project'inward to form supports for the water storage and circulating apparatus. At a suitable distance below the ring-1, a shelf. 6 is support-.

ed by the legs '2, the shelf in the )resent on each side of the center the material of the shelf is turned abruptly downward and then into a horizontal portion '10, The shelf is formed from its rear edge to the center in substantially the same manner asthat just described, and as shown in Fig. 3, but the forward, central portion of the shelf is inclined gradually downward from its edge to the plane of the portion 10, as will also be observed. from said Fig. 3. The center of the portion 10 is providedwith a depression 11, for the obvious purpose of collecting any liquid which may drip from the heating device.

I employ, as the heating device, a liquid fuel heater, comprising a liquid fuel reservoir 12, within. the central portion of which isn tubular burner 13, and a flue or drum 14, that is supported above the burner 13. To adapt this heater to its present use, ll attach to the bottom of the reservoir, a shoe 15 that consists of a strip of metal that is bent into a rectangular shape as shown in Fig. 2, and that has its upper edge soldered, or otherwise secured, to the reservoir 12.

The rear ends of the side portions of the shoe Converge toward the rear to facilitate the insertion of the shoe within the guide formed by the vertical'walls 9 of the depressed, central portion of the shelf 6. A handle 16 is secured to the front of the reservoir, and a bail 17, to the upper surface of the rear portion thereof, the bail being slightly to one side of a point diametrically opposite the handle 16 to enable the user to grasp it after the heater, has been partly withdrawn from the shelf, without peril of engaging his arm with the drum. As will be observed, the front side of the shoe 15 is left open to supply air to the bottom of the tubular burner 13. p

The water storage and circulating apparatus will now be described. 20 represents a cylindrical shell or drum that has its upperand lower edges wired at 21 and 22 respectively, and a short distance below its upper edge the same is provided with a series ofembossed beads 23, for imparting strength to the drum and improving its appearance. Spaced a suitable distance above the lower edge of the drum, there is an inwardly extending ridge 24, and immediately above this ridge the drum is provided with a series of openings 25. An inner drum 26 is arranged to he slipped down through the top of the outer. drum until its outwardly flared lower end 27 engages the top of the ridge 24, which forms a support for said drum. It will be observed from Fig. 5 that the upper end of the inner drum is spaced some distance below the corresponding end of the outer drum, and is retained at a fixed distance radially therefrom by spacers 28, that are 2 shaped-in cross section, one flange whereof is attached to the inner drum,

\ cone.

and the other of which engages the inner surface of the outer drum, above the beads 23. This construction maybe better understood from an inspection of the broken away portion of Fig. 6.

The reservoir 30 is cylindrical and of a diameter somewhat less than the diameter of the inner shell 26, the space between the reservoir andsaid shell being shown as substantially the same as that between the inner and outer shells. The upper end of the reservoir i's flared outward and is inclined upward, as shown at 31, to a diameter substantially equal to the inside diameter of the outer shell, the wall of the reservoir then being turned upward and wired at 32. The upper ends of the spacers 28 are inclined at substantially the same angle as the portion 31 of the reservoir, and said portion may rest upon the spacers for the purpose of supporting the reservoir within the shells; or the reservoir may depend for its support upon the engagement of its wired upper end 32 with the wired end 21 of the outer shell. A cover 33 is adapted to close the upper end of the reservoir, and its peripheral, depend ing flange 34 fits down within the enlarged portion of the reservoir. The bottom 35 of the reservoir constitutes a shallow inverted Within the apex of the cone is secured a dished plate 36 having a central vertical tubular neck 37 for the reception of a correspondingly shaped neck 38 of avalve cup 39, the bottom whereof is perforated, as shown at 40 in Figs. 5 and.8. The neck 38 of the valve cup may have a forced fit with in the neck 37 of the plate 36, in which case the necks may be secured together by soldering; or the necks may be threaded so pressed fit down over the sides of the cup,

although the same might be screwed onto the cup. A fitting50 is applied to the out-v side of the bottom 35, and has a flange 51 that corresponds'in shape to the dished plate 36 and occupies a position directly beneath said plate. "A transverse hollow boss 52 oocupies thcicenter of the fitting, and one end of the boss has an aperture that is flanged inward for the reception of the end of a pipe which constitutes the circulating ele meat 53 of the apparatus:

This element is formed in a spiral, and the successive con volutions thereof gradually progress upward at about the same angle as the inclination of the bottom 35. Finallyg. the pipe is led across to one side of the reservoir and passed upward between its cylindrical wall and the inner shell 26 to where it is passed through the portion 31 of the reservoir and 1s then turned downward over and 1n proximlty to the wall of the reservoir. The c1rculating element terminates, at its upper the reservoir wall between the points of its vertical connection therewith. The spaced walls of the partition produce an air space which very effectually insulates the compartment D from the storage reservoir. This compartment is adapted to be closed by a cover 56 that may entirely or partially cover the compartment, in the latter instance, the cover being permanently attached, if desired, and constituting a shield to prevent hot water from splashing as it is discharged from the circulating element. A steamer or towel tray 57, having a perforated bottom, is supported within the re maining portion of the upper end ofthe reservoir by having its outwardly flared upper end 58 resting upon the portion 31.

A faucet 60 has connection with the in terior of the compartment D, through the cylindrical wall of the reservoir, and a box shaped casing 61 is secured to said reservoir wall about the shank of the faucet and ex; tends upward to the portion'31. The front surface of the casing 61 is in the plane of the enlarged, cylindrical upper end of the reservoir, for a purpose which will be apparent from the following. It is obvious'that the outer and inner shells have to be.notched from their upper edges downward, as shown at 63 and 64, respectively, for the purpose of allowing the faucet to pass downward to its final position as the reservoir is lowered into the shells. The front wall of the casing 61, therefore, closes-the notch 63 in the outer shell, when the parts are assembled; and, in

dipping water therefrom, in the event that the steamer occupies the upper end of the reservoir, this operation will besomewhat interfered with. Especially in barbershops and such places, where the steamer or towel tray is almost continually in use, it is an advantage to have a faucet through which the water within the storage reservoir may be withdrawn, and such a faucet is shown at 65. The shank of the faucet is threaded into a boss 66 of a fitting 67 that ispreferably formed of a casting having its flanged end riveted or otherwise secured to the cylindrical wall of the reservoir, said wall having an opening 68 through which the faucet communicates with the reservoir. This construction enables theapparatus to be disassembled very conveniently by simply removin the faucet from the fitting 67.

n the operation of the device, the roducts of combustion from the heater Q use in direct contact with the bottom of the reser-. voir and with the circulating element 53.

Passing about the bottom, said products continue their upward course betweenthe wall of the reservoir and the inner shell 26. The fact that the openings 25 in the outer shell are spaced a substantial-distance above the top of the heater drum, causes a downward draft to' be created in the space betweenthe inner and outer shells so that the products of combustion are drawn overthe top of the inner shell and down through such space and are exhausted throu h the openings 25. It is obvious, therefore, t at the products of combustion are caused to exercise their highest efiiciency in the heating of the circulating element, the bottom of the reservoir, and the cylindrical wall thereof in their upward course, and that they are protected from they cooling influence of the atmosphere by the descending products through the space between the outer and inner shells.

Assuming that the water level within'the reservoir is slightly below the bottom of the steamer 57, thejveight of the water will elevate the valve disk 41 and allow the writer to flow through the openings 40, the neck 38 of the valve cup, the fitting 50, and accumulate within the circulating element to a level sub-. stantially equal to the level of the water within the reservoir. As the temperature of the water within the circulating element rises, and. the air within the water expands, the water will be forced upward and may overflow through the downturned upper end of the element into the compartment D. If the expansion within the element is not. suffici'ent to accomplish this end, the water will actually be forced through the aforesaid course and discharge into the compartment D, upon the generation of steam within the circulating element. The pressure thus creia-tedwithi the element may hold the valve disk upon he b'ottom of the cup 39 until a quantity of water has been removed from the element, when the pressure therein. will fall to less than the weight of'the water within the reservoir, when it will act to open the valve and water will flow into the ciitculating element. This operation continues as long as the heater is active, constantly deliveri-n the hottest water into the compartment whererit may be drawn off through the faucet 602 If the water is not used but of the compartment D as'fast as it accumulates therein, it will simply overfiowinto the reservoir and assist in heating the water. contained therein. This overflow is permitted by the ends of the cover 56 being cut away as shown at 70, in Fig. 6. The fact that the wall of the reservoir is spaced some distance from the outer shell 20 and the space between is divided by the inner shell 26, very effectually protects the reservoir from the effect of the atmospheric temperature, so that the temperature of the water within the reservoir, even after the heater has ceased to act, is retained at a high degree for a considerable time.

Attention is also called to the fact that the small quantity of water contained at one time Within the circulating element, the thinness of the wall of said element, and the directness of contact of the products of combustion with the element, contribute toward a very prompt heating ofa small quantity of water and the delivery of it to the compartment D, for use alniost immediately after the lighting of the heater; and the isolation of said compartment, through the dead air space afl'orded by the double wall partition 55, from the cool water within the reservoir, protects it from being affected thereby.
